Doting on your wife to no end: The evil regent is reborn and is too clingy
Chapter 328: Imprisonment (New)
Having said this outside, they immediately began to implement it.
A group of people shouted one, two, three, hey! One, two, three, ha!
Mo Chengying pressed the door and waited for his wife to get dressed. He let go when he heard the sound of "Ha".
Hualala - these people rushed in, one on top of the other, as if they had eaten croton seeds.
The one at the bottom was pressed down and couldn't even make a sound.
Mo Chengying didn't even bother to look at her any more. When he saw Qingqing coming out of the inner tent, he went to greet her.
"The door is open, nothing's wrong."
The people who were pulled in stood up one by one.
Oh, acquaintance.
“Isn’t this the little chicken brother at the west city gate?”
Shen Yangui took a look and saw seven people in total. At first glance, they looked like "a mountain range from the front and peaks from the side, with different heights and distances." There was no danger at all. She went to the table and said, "Why are you here instead of selling chickens?"
That being said, it always sounds like something is not right.
The roast chicken young man's body was very much like the chopped firewood in the backyard, thin and hard to describe.
He walked over and said arrogantly, "Master Wu and Madam Pan have come from afar..."
Well done to Master Wu and Madam Pan, it seems that the "hero's origin is not important" mentality of the people in the martial arts world has developed to this point, and they just make arbitrary judgments on their identities, right?
"... Let's be frank and not beat around the bush. Just hand over the things yourself and we'll leave immediately. It'll be good for both of us."
No wonder they didn’t wait until night to come over, it turned out they had a legitimate reason.
Shen Yangui nodded and concluded: "Husband, I'm here to rob you of your money."
"With your physique, you should just go sell chickens." Mo Chengying said indifferently, pouring a cup of tea for his wife, "Are you hungry? Do you want the inn to send some food?"
When the young man saw that he was being ignored, he stepped on the stool with his right foot and said, "I advise you to be sensible and not refuse my favor!"
"There is only a dog now, but no elephant has been seen. How can we know it?"
A good figure can give people a sense of security. The strongest man among the group of people selling roast chicken is like a wall. He took half a step forward and the light dimmed. He is a real strong man.
He slammed his fist on the table. With a bang, the teapot and teacup bounced together and fell to the table, shaking.
The "strong man" glared with his eyes wide open and said in a gruff voice: "Who are you calling a dog?!"
Quite friendly.
Shen Yangui thought that if Sang Niu encountered such a situation, even if the fist just now did not hit Jing Ming in the face, before asking questions, she would probably greet him in a friendly manner with words like "You little bastard" or "When your father gave birth to you, did he fart and destroy your brain?"
They are so polite and we should reciprocate. We should not be rude to them.
Shen Yangui said kindly, "You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. How about you spit some out to prove it?"
"Say it again if you can."
"Let's have some roast chicken." Shen Yangui said to Mo Chengying, "Husband, I miss Yu'er a little." Quick decision.
Mo Chengying nodded and brought over a roast chicken with one hand.
The young man drew his sword and stabbed it on the table. "Hand over all your valuables and banknotes, or I will immediately send you to the government. Women will ride on wooden donkeys, and men will be killed!"
The roasted clay chicken hit him on the head, fell to the ground and broke into two pieces, with clay still inside.
The roast chicken vendor at the city gate only has a real chicken in his hand, the one he holds for people to taste; the rest are fake.
"One roast chicken is eaten by thousands of people. Is this how you make money?"
The young man who was eating roast chicken fell to the ground and couldn't get up. Two people went to help him up. The strong man stepped forward, clasped his hands together as he walked, and tried to smash Mo Chengying's head.
Unfortunately, when he clasped his hands together, the dagger on the table pierced into his forehead.
His black eyes looked towards the middle, and he fell down with a scream.
The remaining five people saw that the situation was not good and wanted to run, but Mo Chengying stood up and reached the door before them.
The wind generated by the opening and closing of the door just hit Shen Yangui's face, and the five people had already fallen down.
"Madam, is your husband very powerful?"
Mo Chengying stepped on someone's back and asked Shen Yangui for credit.
Shen Yangui's eyes were full of love and affection, "My husband is the most courageous man in the world, he is well-mannered both inside and out, and he is always lovable."
She glanced at the silent roast chickens on the ground, shook her head and sighed, "Young people are different. They fall asleep as soon as they lie down."
Shen Yangui came over with a teapot, poured the tea on the head of the person at Mo Chengying's feet, and said gently: "Hey, young man, wake up and tell me, who gave you the courage to cheat and force people to buy and sell?"
"Adulterer and whore! I won't tell you anything! Kill me if you dare!"
Shen Yangui pulled the dagger off the "strong man's" forehead and stabbed it into his cheek.
His tone became gentler and softer, "Bandits? Or government officials?"
The tip of the knife pierced his face and pressed against his teeth. Blood crawled from his face to his neck like a ghost hand, wriggling on his skin.
He was so frightened that he was shaking all over. "Auntie, please spare me! Auntie, please spare me! I'll tell you everything! I'll tell you everything!"
We came here just because we heard that you had more than 100,000 silver notes and that you eloped. We thought that even if we robbed your money, you would not dare to make a fuss, so we plucked up the courage to come here. This is the first time for us, so we hope Madam Pan will spare our lives.
I have an 80-year-old mother and a baby who can’t even walk, I…”
"You've sold too many chickens and have no more to breed. Do you want to be my sister?"
Shen Yangui pulled out the knife and cut it down along his skin.
"No, no! I am the only son in my family for nine generations!" Little Roast Chicken screamed, "Speak! I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"
"We, we sell roast chicken, and we all go through the formalities at the government office."
"Still lying?"
"No no no, Madam Pan, spare me. I, I, I mean we are cheating people by selling loess, the government knows about it. If Madam Pan is careful, she should have seen that there is a teahouse where we sell roast chicken."
Teahouse?
Shen Yangui immediately thought, "Are the detectives drinking tea in the teahouse specifically monitoring you?"
"My aunt is wise. For every one we sell, we have to hand over 80% to him. He will collect the money, take 20%, and then hand over 60% to the government. They know exactly what price we sell at and how many we sell."
Shen Yangui sneered, "The prefect is really a talent to standardize fraud and then impose taxes."
"In this way, the money will go into his own pocket and he doesn't have to hand it over." Mo Chengying said.
"We don't want to do these things, but Lingzhou City has various taxes. If you don't get married early, you have to pay taxes. If you never get married, you have to pay taxes. If you have children, you have to pay taxes. If you don't have children, you have to pay taxes. You have to pay taxes for farming and for opening a shop... After working hard all year, you get nothing. You owe the government 3,000 coins, and you have to work for the government for two months every year without compensation."
"doing what?"
"Farm for his family, harvest wheat, build a house for his family, repair the yard, whatever your family does, do for his family. If we don't cheat and deceive to supplement the family income, we won't be able to survive."
"Have you ever thought about reporting it to the provincial government?"
"It has been reported. Why hasn't it been reported before? Some years ago, someone went to Beijing to file a complaint, but was beaten to a bloody pulp and thrown back. Later, the whole family, young and old, died inexplicably."
"How could this be?"
"How could this happen? With the protection of the Regent, what can we do if we become the governor or the prime minister? We are just ordinary people, what can we do?"
Xiao Shaoji spoke in a dejected tone, not knowing whether it was in pain or not. Shen Yangui looked at him and actually dropped two drops of cucumber juice with true emotion.
She looked at Mo Chengying: It doesn’t seem like he’s lying.
They were considering whether to go out to the street to verify it, when they heard the thudding sound of footsteps on the wooden stairs outside.
Another group of people came.
When the constable in the teahouse heard about the more than 100,000 taels of silver notes, he was afraid that the young roast chickens would embezzle one, so he immediately asked the constable in the yamen who had a good relationship with him to come over.
The bearded constable stood at the door, looking at a group of people lying on the ground. He felt that the man was quite skilled, so he did not come in immediately.
"I heard that you eloped from another place?"
Shen Yangui looked at Mo Chengying with drooping eyebrows and said timidly: "Uncle, this official has a ferocious face and looks like a thief. He looks like he is here to rob money. I am so scared."
Mo Chengying discovered that his wife was charming in a unique way when she pretended to be weak.
He reached out and patted her on the back, "Don't be afraid, sister-in-law. I stole the money and killed the person. It has nothing to do with you. They won't make things difficult for you."
Shen Yangui leaned against Mo Chengying and looked up and said, "You are talking nonsense. The money is our own money, how can it be stolen? Besides, those people on the ground are not dead yet."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. These officials are about to take action. They will kill these people and frame me. Even if there is not enough evidence, they can still sentence me to death."
Mo Chengying lifted Shen Yangui's chin with his index finger, "Don't even mention the money. Even my pitiful, lovely and beloved sister-in-law will be theirs."
Even if there were only 100,000 taels, 20% would still be 20,000 taels. These roast chicken sellers would never earn that much money in their entire lives.
How could the bearded man possibly give them such a big share?
He came here in a hurry, and even wanted to hide the truth from the government.
"Hahahahahaha… Young Master Wu is so smart, so let's not beat around the bush."
The bearded man laughed loudly and stepped inside. "I am not interested in such a woman who is immoral. As long as you are willing to hand over the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and leave the city overnight, I promise to forgive you and never hurt a hair on your head."
"What a good way to let bygones be bygones. More than 100,000 taels is not a small sum. Are you letting me leave the city? Aren't you afraid that after I leave, I will file a complaint with the emperor in the capital?"
"Sue the emperor? Sue you for killing your brother, robbing your sister-in-law, and stealing property?"
After the bearded man finished speaking, a group of people at the door laughed. He continued, "If you are not afraid of death, just go ahead and file a complaint. Even if you file a complaint in front of the emperor or to the young emperor, it will not be of any use."
"You are not even afraid of the emperor?"
"Have you heard of the Regent?" The bearded man raised his hand, his face full of pride.
It’s the Regent again. Xiao Shaoji also mentioned the Regent.
If Mo Chengying knew that the prefect ruled like this, he would have cut them into pieces long ago and would never have covered up these illegal acts in Lingzhou.
Could it be that the people around me are hiding things from me and doing evil in my name?
Shen Yangui was also curious about how they deceived the people and used the name of the Regent to do evil. "I have heard a little about it."
Mo Chengying coughed lightly, and she deliberately added two sentences, saying: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Regent is a man of extraordinary stature and bravery, but he shouldn't be able to give birth to a grandson as old as you, right?"
The bearded man was only concerned about the hundreds of thousands of taels, and didn't care about the woman's ridicule. He said:
"There is a royal courtyard in Lingzhou City called Jun Lin Tian Xia, which is the palace of the Regent. His Royal Highness the Regent comes to our Lingzhou City for a short stay every winter, and every time he comes, our prefect accompanies him.
Therefore, major cases in Lingzhou City did not need to be tried by the three judicial departments in Beijing, but were entirely decided by the prefect.
If you know what's good for you, leave immediately. Otherwise, I will send you two adulterers to jail. Your sister-in-law's delicate skin and tender flesh will not be able to withstand a few lashes. You will suffer in vain."
Shen Yangui looked at Mo Chengying. Mo Chengying did not shake his head, but his eyes told her: I have never been here.
In other words, Lingzhou City has a fake regent every winter.
The person who could do such a thing must be an insider of the matter. It's really a case of the emperor being far away and here comes another person who can cover the sky with one hand.
Shen Yangui really wanted to meet the man pretending to be the regent. If he couldn't meet the prefect, it would be very necessary.
"One hundred thousand taels is not a small amount. If we give it to them, we will be gone. I have never been to jail since I was a child. Uncle, let's go to jail."
"Okay, we'll go wherever sister-in-law wants to go."
Two crazy people.
The bearded man raised his eyebrows. "Going to jail is not like going to the toilet. You have disregarded human ethics and colluded secretly. One of you murdered your husband and the other murdered your brother. Going to jail will only lead to your death. I advise you to be smart!"
"As long as I can die together with my sister-in-law, I am not afraid of anything."
"Me too."
Mo Chengying and Shen Yangui hugged each other affectionately, like two headless people.
The bearded man looked at the disgusting look on their faces and felt that the couple was disgusting.
"Someone come! Search!"
He didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he tried to persuade them with kind words. But since the adulterous couple refused to accept his toast, he would wait until the money was found and then kill them directly.
Just as secretly.
However, the detectives searched the entire room twice, but did not find any silver bills or even a copper coin.
"Not here."
"Not here either."
The room in the inn was so small that I even took apart the quilt and looked inside, but still couldn't find anything valuable.
The bearded man drew his sword angrily: "Where's the money?"
"It's not safe to go out. How can you carry 180,000 taels of silver with you? We hid it, of course, outside the city." Shen Yangui raised her orchid finger and gently pushed the knife away, "But if you kill my husband, you won't get even a copper coin."
"Bitch! You won't cry until you see the coffin, right?"
Just as the bearded man's knife was about to fall, a voice came from the door.
"stop!"
Look at how he’s dressed, it must be the captain of the police force coming.
It seems that the temptation of more than 100,000 taels is greater than imagined.
The bearded man's dream of embezzling the money was shattered. He dared not hide anything and told everything to show his loyalty.
Everyone wanted to embezzle the money, but the captain of the police didn't seem to have such an idea. He didn't say a word and directly ordered Mo Chengying and Shen Yangui to be taken away.
Under severe punishment, are you still afraid that these two things won’t tell the truth?
The captain of the police was different from the greedy bearded man. He was both greedy and lustful. His eyes swept over Shen Yangui, and his fat and big-eared face made him look even more wretched.
Mo Chengying hugged Shen Yangui, and the two of them went downstairs tremblingly. As soon as they left the inn and saw people walking on the street, they had an idea in their minds.
